Eaton BKD2F175 Main Breaker Kit UL 67 Certification

Convertible protection capability is the core feature of the BKD2F175. By supporting both single-phase and three-phase configurations in a single kit, it reduces the need for multiple part numbers and simplifies stock management. The business impact is lower warranty risk and faster field conversions, enabling panel upgrades with minimal disruption in manufacturing facilities and data centers. Amperage rating and current handling are designed for reliability: rated for 175 A with a rated operational current of 175 A, delivering robust overcurrent protection for medium-size power circuits. In practice, this translates to safer startup, reduced nuisance tripping, and improved protection for motors and drives in applications like packaging lines and process equipment. Physical footprint and installation ease matter in crowded panels: a compact 6 in length, 4 in width, and 3 in height, weighing 5 lb, ensures straightforward mounting in standard enclosures and compatibility with Eaton’s mounting schemes. Compliance and certification provide confidence in regulated environments: UL 67 certification and NEMA compliance support safe installation and long-term code alignment across facilities. Compatibility and installation advantages make procurement efficient: the kit aligns with the Pow-R-Xpress stocking program and Eaton’s cataloging, enabling faster sourcing, fewer part numbers, and smoother field upgrades. This reduces project lead times and minimizes maintenance interruption. In practice, many users address objections around cross-brand compatibility by confirming the catalog number BKD2F175 and referencing Eaton’s specification materials to ensure a clean installation path in mixed-panel environments. Industry context shows that a convertible MCB kit like this can lower total cost of ownership by simplifying spares, training, and maintenance cycles.
